The blocking using LMhosts works fine.  Until you have several terabytes of
data on a host.  We use quite a few netapp filers and hence most of our data
is on several filers.  Only practical way would be based on sharename rather
than hostname.   
 
Of course we need this to apply to a few machines only but ideally to apply
depending on what the source IP of the request was from.  Internal means
safe and external IP means check some rules before deciding it's safe or
not.  And in some cases depending on what the data was always block if
external.

I thought AAC would allow you to do clever checks on the endpoint - I didn't
realise it'd be able to modify functionality within an individual published
application?
 
The way I was thinking of would be to redirect your users to different
citrix servers based on their source location. The sensitive users would be
directed to servers with an lmhosts file that 'blocked' the UNC by
overriding the source name's IP resolution. 
 
messy mind.

The only way that I'm aware of to control that type of access through
Presetnation Server is using AAC.  You can then use the filters within AAC
on your published applications.

I asumme this is if you are publishing folders on Juniper?  We publish
Citrix apps on Juniper only....So the control really needs to be within the
citrix session.  
 
Further ideas?

A Juniper device'll let you do it as well won't it? You can allow unc access
and then define roles that would allow access to those resources. You could
either allow full network browse access - or publish the folder themselves
iirc.

All
 
We are after a product that will allow us block sensitive unc's for users.
This of course needs to differ depending on if the user is internal or
external. 
 
When they are external they connect to Citrix via Juniper.  When they are
internal they use either normal desktops or Citrix.
 
I believe by using CAG with AAC we can do this. 
 
Can anybody suggest any other software\hardware\methods that we could to
achieve this?
